5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor 1A polyclonal, anti-mouse, rat antibody

Background:
Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1)] is an important neurotransmitter in the CNS that exerts its neuronal activity via 5-HT receptors. 5-HT receptors are subdivided into seven families termed 5-HT1 through 5-HT7.1 The 5-HT receptor families belong to the G-Protein Coupled receptor superfamily with the exception of 5-HT3 receptor class which belongs to the ligand-gated ion channels. The 5-HT1 receptor class comprises of five different receptors (5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1e AND 5-HT1F) which share 41-63% overall sequence identity and couple preferentially to Gi/Go to inhibit cAMP formation. The 5-HT1A receptor is the most widespread of all the 5-HT receptors. In the central nervous system, 5-HT1A receptors exist in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, septum, amygdala and raphe nucelus in high densities, and was also demonstrated in a variety of tissues from various species. Activation of 5-HT1A receptor decreases blood pressure and heart rate, involved in learning, memory, relieving anxiety and depression. 5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor
